Prince Jaqen thought hard and long about how he was able to remember the incident at the hunting site but no answer was coming. He wondered why it happened to him for the first time in years. He had lived his life always writing down the dayโs incidence before sleeping so that he would wake up to read them the following day since his memories get erased anytime he sleeps over the night. It was really strange that he happened to remember such a terrible incident and he vowed to find out why it was so. โis it because the shock was much or because I was wounded? Why do I keep remembering the incident and nothing else?โ he pondered in his room as he tried to remember the events that happened other days but couldnโt After drawing out his guesses and people that were around him, he decided to test all of them one by one. He spent some time with the Alpha, his brother, Falkor and even the Beta but he didnโt remember anything about it the next day. He was about giving up on it when he reme
Prince Jaqen finished bantering with his older brother, Prince Falkor and Beta Loras in front of the Alphaโs quarters and went away with Derib who was busy scolding him for provoking everyone in such an aggressive manner when he doesnโt have any solid evidence at hand โdonโt you think you are playing a dangerous game? What if they hide the evidences you are supposed to see?โ Derib stated with worry โI want them to bring the evidences out themselves and lead me to it since being silent and searching for it under the radar is not working. I will make them panic so they can lead me to where the evidences are with their actionsโ he replied with a grin โBut what if they destroy it before you get a hold of it? Isnโt that a wasted effort? You will only be going back to square oneโ Derib argued further making Prince Jaqen stop to face him โWhy are you so bent on jinxing it this early morning? Are you already trying to complain to me that you are tired and I am ruining everything for you?โ
She raced down to the Princeโs quarters to wake up him up as early as possible after branching to the appropriate quarters where she got the cold water and clean towel sprinkled with rose scent as specified by DeribโI donโt why heโs so specific about the rose scent, itโs not like heโs a lady, and heโs just extremely weirdโ she muttered to herself as she struggled to carry both the towel and the bowl of waterโMy Prince, I am here! Please wake up for the cleaning of your faceโ she announced before slowly entering the room and gently tapped himโCanโt I sleep a little more? I donโt want to wake up nowโ he murmured and turned to the other side making her sighShe was afraid of being yelled at her if she wake him up again so she just quietly sat down beside the bed instead hoping he will wake up by himself soon. After ten minutes, Derib came in and saw her sitting down while Jaqen was still sleepingโWhat are you doing not waking him up? He should have been done by now, you are just sitt
THE PREVIOUS DAYโS AFTERNOON Prince Jaqen and Derib went out to find out about the places that sells and melt silver in town which could be of help and give more information about the silver that was used for coating the pit he fell in during the royal hunt โThere is no way an ordinary man could buy that much silver without the help of people in the business so I am sure we will find out something when we go out todayโ Derib informed him as they marched out of the pack โI really hope they cooperate with us but I will not be surprised since the culprits wonโt just get casually should in case I decide to dig, they must have their own channel but we might be able to trace them down if we visit the silver miners like you had saidโ he stated and stopped to greet the Luna whom he encountered at the entrance of the palace โGood afternoon my Lunaโ he greeted with a small bow and she scoffed โhow can I have a son and he would not refer to me as his mother and call me the Luna every timeโ s
โWhy is he behaving like that? Did something happen?โ he wondered as he watched Derib leave the room with the bowl and the towelHe stood up and drew the box out to read his diary as usual but the page was blank, he didnโt write anything the previous day after allโWhy is this place blank? Did I not write anything? Why is that?โ he plastered himself with questions before rushing out to meet Derib who was coming back from where he went to drop the bowlโcome, why didnโt I write anything down yesterday? Do you know why? I canโt seems to remember anything no matter how I think about it?โ he said with a frustrated toneโYou can never remember anything since you shifted yesterday and blacked outโ he replied and went to the room so they can talk betterโI shifted yesterday? Why? I donโt shift without a tangible reason so what would have prompted me to do so? Do you know why?โ he fired the questions one after the otherโI donโt know why you shifted but I met you collapsed on the floor of you
After the encounter with Elora where Jaqen found out that he had tried to rape her after shifting and also hurt her shoulder in the process, he instructed Derib to find out what he had ingested that night for him to behave that wayโSomething must have stimulated the action that night, I have been avoiding foods and things of all kind that can make me stay aroused since itโs the high heat period so I must have inhaled or digested something that can spike itโ he said with angerโDo you want me to find out what it was?โ Derib asked and he slammed his hand on the tableโDo I need to say that separately? Of course you should find that out for me by all meansโ he growled and Derib stood up to get to work immediatelyโSince you visited the Lunaโs chamber that evening before the incidence, there is a high possibility that you ingested something with the teaโ Derib statedโWhat was strange is that my sense of smell couldnโt pick it because if it had picked it, I wouldnโt have taken a drop out
Prince Falkor was coming back from his session with Lady Gaia and entered the Princeโs quarters to see someone being ushered into Prince Jaqenโs room by him personally, he wondered who could visit the palace and his room at that moment and decided to come in unannounced.Derib had seen him but pretended not to when he came in as they were entering and when he detected his footsteps he quickly grabbed Elora and hid her behind the huge cupboard to both her and the Princeโs surprise before Prince Falkor could burst into the room.โWhat are you doing here?โ Prince Jaqen blurt out in surprise only for Prince Falkor to burst into the roomโPrince Falkor?โ Jaqen blurt out in surpriseโWhy are you surprised to see me? Were you doing something bad?โ Prince Falkor remarked scanning the room as he came in deeper to have his seatโWhat bad thing could I have been doing? You must think everyone is like youโ he replied with a scoffโThen why were you taken aback when I came in?โ Prince Falkor asked
He carried him straight to his room before letting her down to her feet, she quickly faced the other side of the room to avoid his gaze and he was surprised about why she was doing thatโWhy are you suddenly turning away?โ he asked walking to have his seatโIโm not turning away, I am just staring at the antics displayed over thereโ she denied sharplyโAh ah antics! But they are over thereโ he replied pointing to the opposite direction which made her bit her lipsShe has been caughtโAh thatโs true! They are over there, I got confused for a bitโ she replied with a chuckle to cover her lie before turning to the said sideโwill you quit the act and get me my dinner? Do you want me to starve all day?โ he cut through her display and she sharply bowed before rushing out of the roomโGosh, he didnโt have to make it more embarrassingโ she stated closing her eyes before rushing to the kitchenโShould I go with you? It seems like you will have so much explanation to do if you go aloneโ Derib of
Alpha Jaqen and Derib set out to make plans to find Falkor wherever he might have ran to before he starts to cause havoc on the pack. โDo you think we can find out their hideouts?โ he asked Derib โThe last time I visited the hideout, they were talking about how the silver they were making will be the last batch and they will be joining othersโ Derib revealed โSo do you think we can find the others? Donโt you think we should plant a spy amidst them?โ he asked tapping his leg on the floor anxiously โIf you want, I can go in myself to get any information you needโ Derib offered โYour face is known by almost everyone, wonโt you get caught at this rate?โ he asked โI just have to be careful and everything will work out because itโs not like they can know every of their soldiersโ Derib said and Alpha Jaqen sighed before Obi came in โThe famine has started, everyone has started lamenting for food. What should we do about the storage?โ Obi asked as he brought the ledgers the late Alpha h
The elders set an emergency meeting after the whole fight in the palace and they discussed about what to do about the rebels and the punishments to dish out according to their crimes. โI cannot believe something like this happened in this palace, we donโt even know what the truth is anymore. This is shocking, tiring and exhausting, it happened so suddenly that I canโt even wrap my head around itโ Elder Kinn said with a heavy sigh โI am glad the Alpha told us all these before he died, imagine if we didnโt find out and they killed the real Prince of the pack. We would have had to deal with the tyranny of the Alpha, Luna and Beta and that will cause a great havoc on the packโ Elder Simeon added โWe are not sure if Prince Falkor is not a real Alpha as claimed, we have to be sure before we point fingers and judge. I mean we never can tell because what if the late Alpha was mistaken?โ Elder Fang countered โSo are you saying the Alpha lied to make us disqualify the first Prince? What abou
As Elora was busy waiting for Jaqen to return from his trip, the goddess knew that her time to leave Elora was near and the fight for the throne will begin soon since both Princes will be on each otherโs neck when Prince Jaqen returns from the trip of going to find a shaman that will heal the Alpha who is terribly sick.The goddess also knew that Prince Jaqen can never find a shaman no matter how he tries because after the death of Eloraโs mother, Arya, the goddess that was supposed to possess any shaman and give them power was residing in Elora itself and it had refused to unveil itself because of Eloraโs safety and the promise she was supposed to fulfil on her behalf.The main reason why Elora was the one chosen to be the one to help Prince Jaqen was that when Arya was still young and living in the same place with Queen Eleanor, Jaqenโs mother, Arya got into trouble with one of the chiefs living in the town one night.Since Arya was a beautiful woman, she was loved by many men in th
Prince Falkor told the head maid that the straws in the farm at the yard should be picked as early as possible and she should assign some maids to them quickly.โMy Alpha, the maids are extremely busy trying to restore the palace to its normal state because everything has been disorganized because of the ceremony that was just concludedโ The head maid repliedโYou mean all the maids in the palace are working right now?โ he asked raising his browsโYes My Alpha, they are all occupied with one thing or the other so can you wait a little bit?โ she said politelyโI heard Jaqen is out of the palace, why is his maid not joining others to work?โ he askedโHe had ordered for his maid to stay at his room till he comes back and that means she cannot work until he commands her to join others because she is his personal maid and that is allowed according to the rules of the palaceโ she explainedโI am the Alpha here, the leader of the pack so I have the power to make her work right?โ he said with
THE PREVIOUS NIGHTAfter Elora left the Alphaโs chamber, the king managed to visit Prince Jaqenโs chamber in the midnight without anyone knowing. He had been feeling so weak that he knew that he would die at any moment from now so he wanted to finish everything before it was too late.โI didnโt expect you would visit me so late in the night, you should have called me over to your chamber instead of coming over here since you are so sickโ he said as he helped him have his seatโItโs not like you will come at your own free will if I called you over and also my visit here is something that no one must find out so donโt bother to bicker, I want my discussion with you tonight to be fast as soon as possibleโ Alpha Ren remarkedโWhat brought you here this late at night? I hope itโs nothing much thoughโ he asked as he settled in front of himโJaqen, before I start anything I want to ask you a very important question and I want you to be sincere with me. It is okay to say your mind because I j
The Luna once heard a ridiculous rumor that Lady Gaia and Prince Falkor were having affairs and she decided to look into it. She finally confirmed it but decided to leave them so she would be able to use it against them someday. When she found out that she was pregnant from her spy, she decided the day for usage is nearer and planned to disgrace her but after thinking it through, she knew that it will affect her son, Prince Falkor one way or the other so she quit the idea and was looking for how to punish her until she heard she would be leaving the palace.She invited the Beta and told him her planโSo what do you plan on doing? Itโs not like she will allow herself to be disgraced and that is the reason why sheโs leaving the palaceโ Beta Loras remarkedโI understand that she wants to give birth to the baby outside the palace and then come back as if nothing happened. The Alpha is already so weak and sick, it means the fight for the throne will soon start. I cannot allow anything to b
For three months, Lady Gaia was playing a safe game of hiding her pregnancy but it was not easy for her since the symptoms were very bad and evident in her. She thought about aborting the baby but she was also happy the same time that she will be giving birth for the first time in her life.โThis is the very first time I will be a mother, I cannot abort this pregnancyโ she muttered to herself as she rubbed her bellyAfter seeing how her belly was slightly protruding and the pregnancy was at the verge of showing forth, she planned to leave the palace and go back to her mother. She planned to stay there till she gives birth and then leave the child there. She thought about informing Prince Falkor but with his recent attitudes towards her, she swat the thoughts away and just decided to disguise.She got up the next morning and went to visit the Alpha who was still on his bedโIt has been a long time I saw you walking around the palace so I wondered what was wrongโ she said as she moved c
Elora left the room and Derib moved closer to inform Prince Jaqen of what was going on at the secret hideout of Beta Loras. He had gone to survey again during the time the Prince and Elora were busy talking about themselves.โI went back to the site again and found something interestingโ Derib startedโYou went back? You didnโt even tell me you were goingโ Prince Jaqen questionedโI went back when you both were talking and I happened to find out something interestingโ Derib saidโSomething interesting? What is that?โ Prince Jaqen asked and motioned for him to come closer and have his seatDerib sat down opposite to Prince Jaqen and adjusted his clothes before he proceeded with informing him about what he saw at the hideoutโI happened to see them transporting the silver they stored over time and followed them only to find the final piece to our puzzleโ he addedโThe final piece to our puzzle? Donโt you think itโs time for you to speak in a language that I can understand?โ Prince Jaqen
Derib didnโt mention anything about the letter to him again since he already declined the invitation flatly and if he tried to talk him into it, he will flare up which will only cause unnecessary tension.Even though Prince Jaqen didnโt talk about the letter, he secretly wanted to go but his pride was too important for him so he decided to just fight the feeling off. He picked up his sword and went for training with his master at the yard.He got there and found him sitting at the step by the right side and walked up to him to notify him of his presenceโHave your seat, let us discuss some things before we start practice for todayโ his master said and he took his seat beside himโDo you like living here? It is not too cornering and frustrating for you?โ his master asked facing himโCornering and frustrating as how?โ he asked to be sure of the answer to giveโI mean you donโt have any friends here except your bodyguards and the other monks. You are a Prince but you are not living like
